Vaccination is failing because we’re misdiagnosing anti-vax as the population being more ‘hesitant’ about vaccines. The same myths we wallow in about democracy, that it’s led by ‘the people’. All change is led. Distrust in vaccination has been led. By a very small number of… https://t.co/B7fAAWYLzd

Societies are always networked, with hubs that represent the various social groupings, a nucleus of ‘influence’ led by leaders/influencers and in rivalry with other hubs. Just as democracy will fall by targeting entire populations, so will public health, science, and basic… https://t.co/L5YPh7mwXf

The irony of living in a social media society is that it’s easier than it’s ever been to directly trace the sources of influence. Social media makes social networks highly visible and traceable. I’ve shared this before here. The majority of anti-vax BS online is traceable back… https://t.co/lxbQY5hvsZ

A society could decide to shut down this not by exhausting the doctors and public health workers described in the article at the start of this thread, trying to deal with the *outcome* of these anti-trust misinformation campaigns amongst millions of people. But by targeting the…

I’ve Tweeted many times about how even dealing with something like Covid is exactly the same process. Covid is simply not everywhere, as its minimisers like us to believe, to make us give up trying to control it. It breeds and spreads from a relatively small number of hubs,…

We need to stop thinking about societies as millions of individuals in the driving seat. Not even the smallest local sporting club operates that way. There is ALWAYS a very small proportion of the group that lead everybody else. That’s who you focus on, to bring about change.…

Societies need to ignore the sister myth of ‘the people’ - that imposition of strong action is ‘authoritarian’. Horseshit. What creates peaceful and prosperous societies is the courage to be brutally determined to weed out anti-social influences. /8

As we saw in Geoffrey Rush’s portrayal of Elizabeth 1’s ruthless strategic adviser, Sir Francis Walsingham. None of the nonsense about workshopping focus groups in the wider population and trying to ‘re-educate’ them. A brutal, targeted identification of the enemies of the… https://t.co/FX2WpAV15x

Most of the critical problems facing humanity today are much *smaller* problems than we assume, problems led by a tiny number of anti-social actors, interested only in their own social status. Mostly easily traceable, in a networked social media culture. Right now acting with…
